Class of 2013 stars James Young and Monte Morris build on their national reps

The best underclassmen from Nike's national circuit converged on St. Louis this weekend for their Elite 100 camp. According to veteran scout John Stovall, the No. 1 wing forward and top 5 overall prospect was James Young, a 6-6 sophomore from Troy. He looked like a young Calbert Cheney, everything Final 4 aspirants look for at the position. He's a long lefty shooter who has the bounce to get to the rim. The rising junior doesn't turn 16 until the end of the summer scouting period and should only get better as his body matures and he grows a mean streak.

Closer to home, 6-1 Flint Beecher soph Monte Morris was excelling against top 2013 prospects from throughout the Midwest at U-M's College Practice Camp. He just knows how to run a team and play winning basketball, whether it was leading Beecher to the state semifinals his first two years or Team Detroit's 16s to five tournament titles in the spring. Morris is so good at what he does he can step in and lead even in a competitive camp environment. He's a highly skilled pass-first point guard who can create his own jumper when he has to. Physically he's more like Drew Neitzel than Tory Jackson, as the other good 2013 point guard prospects were stronger.
